Multiple object paint rack system

Abstract

A paint rack system for consolidating doors and shutters for spray painting and storing in an organized assembly. The system generally comprises an elongate base having opposite ends and a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the base is extended between the ends of the base, such that the ends of the base define a base length therebetween. A plurality of ground engaging members are coupled to the base. An elongate main beam has opposite ends and a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the main beam is extended between the ends of the main beam, and the ends of the main beam define a main beam length therebetween. The main beam is slidably mounted to the base, with the main beam being rotatably mounted to the base such that the main beam is rotatable about an axis of rotation being upwardly extended from the base. The axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the base. A pair of spaced apart elongate arms each have a longitudinal axis, with the arms being upwardly extended from the main beam. Each of the arms has a plurality of spaced apart threaded clamping fasteners extending therethrough into the space between the arms, with the clamping fasteners being adapted for holding an object in the space between the arms.

I claim:  
     
       1. A paint rack system for holding objects, comprising: 
       an elongate base having opposite ends, and a longitudinal axis, said longitudinal axis of said base being extended between said ends of said base, wherein said ends of said base define a base length therebetween;  
       a plurality of ground engaging members being coupled to said base;  
       an elongate main beam having opposite ends, and a longitudinal axis, said longitudinal axis of said main beam being extended between said ends of said main beam, wherein said ends of said main beam define a main beam length therebetween;  
       said main beam being slidably mounted to said base, said main beam being rotatably mounted to said base such that said main beam is rotatable about an axis of rotation being upwardly extended from said base, said axis of rotation being substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said base;  
       a pair of spaced apart elongate arms, each of said arms having a longitudinal axis, said arms being upwardly extended from said main beam; and  
       each of said arms having a plurality of spaced apart threaded clamping fasteners being extended therethrough into the space between said arms, said clamping fasteners being for holding an object in the space between said arms.  
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1  wherein said base has a generally rectangular cross section substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said base, wherein said main beam has a generally rectangular cross section substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said main beam, and wherein each of said arms has a generally rectangular cross section substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said associated arm. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1  wherein said ground engaging members comprise wheels. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1  wherein said base has an elongate channel being extended between said ends of said base, said main beam being slidably mounted to said base such that said main beam is slidable in said channel of said base between said ends of said base. 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 4  wherein a pivot member slidably mounts and rotatably mounts said main beam to said base, said pivot member having an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion of said pivot member being rotatably mounted to said lower portion of said pivot member to permit rotation of said upper portion of said pivot member about said axis of rotation, the upper portion of the pivot member having indexed rotation positions relative to the lower portion of said pivot member, said indexed rotation positions including angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees between said upper and lower portions of the pivot member, said lower portion of said pivot member being slidably mounted to said base such that said lower portion of said pivot member is slidable in said channel of said base between said ends of said base, said upper portion of said pivot member being coupled to said main beam. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1  wherein said longitudinal axis of each of said arms is substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said main beam. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 1  wherein one of said arms is located towards one of said ends of said main beam, and another of said arms is located towards another end of said main beam. 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 1  wherein each of said arms has a plurality of bracket members being adjustably mounted thereto, said bracket members being mounted to their associated arm such that they are adjustably positionable along the length of their associated arm, each of said bracket members having a pair of oppositely extending tabs, said tabs of each of said bracket members being extended substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of their associated arm, said bracket members being for resting another object extending between said arms thereon.
